Who I Am

Rory Kane, Marketing & Growth Specialist

Right now that's marketing and digital strategy for a social change consultancy and a full digital transformation for a 20-year-old tree surgery business, alongside building my own apps and sites on the side. But the same instinct is what took me to study in Norway for a year and volunteer in Sri Lanka for a summer, if there's a room worth being in or a problem worth solving, the location has never really mattered to me. I'm just as comfortable building a GTM strategy for a startup as I am volunteering in a turtle hatchery or teaching English to underserved communities around the world.

Different countries, different brands, same way of showing up.

MY JOURNEY

How I got here.

Tap a stop to read the story.

The comfort zone I had to break

The comfort zone I had to break

I moved from Birmingham to Liverpool knowing no one. So I stuck to what felt safe, the gym, my degree, while people around me applied to study abroad and landed paid internships. During an Employability module, it seemed like everyone else had their future lined out and I didn't. So I booked a meeting with the careers team, and that conversation changed everything.

The Toolkit

What's In My Bag

No progress bars. Hover a card and it tells you how the skill actually got used.

Business Development

Won a Β£100K tender from scratch, built a 26-deal pipeline worth Β£8-10K, and booked 49 meetings for an early stage startup in 5 months.

Brand Strategy

Rebranded Reeves Tree Surgeons top to bottom, logo, positioning, and a GTM strategy for two other startups.

Content Systems

Built Cambio's 7-pillar content strategy and tracking system from scratch, no strategy existed before I got there.

Web Build

Shipped 4 apps and sites independently, including a full website relaunch that generated Β£45K in 10 months.

Analytics

Read a client's full H1 performance review and diagnosed exactly where the gaps were, before being asked to.

Paid Ads

Ran a Google Ads campaign that pulled in 600K impressions and 3,000 clicks for a single local business.

Copywriting

Every newsletter, tender, and website page across every project starts as words I wrote myself.
WORD OF MOUTH

What they say

β€œHe came in when there was essentially nothing in place and built it from the ground up. I could hand Rory a goal and trust he'd execute it well and come back with something genuinely useful. A marketer who can take a blank page and turn it into a working system.”
Wojtek Pawlik avatarWojtek PawlikFounder, Light House Data Consulting
β€œRory and his team delivered a go-to market strategy for our innovation. I could recognise his great talent and interest for innovation and the wider start-up ecosystem, researching Web3 and AI technologies and coming up with very thoughtful recommendations. His international experience of studying abroad brought a great sense of interest, motivation, and understanding.”
Jan Flac avatarJan FlacFounder of Y Entertainment
β€œReeves Tree Surgeons had almost no online presence for over 20 years. In the last year, Rory has led a full end to end digital transformation, redeveloping and launching our website, helping us generate an additional Β£45k, and growing our digital presence to over 700k views. The difference has been huge.”
Jim Matthews avatarJim MatthewsManaging Director, Reeves Tree Surgeons
β€œI taught Rory during the 2nd and 3rd year of his degree, where I watched him consistently work hard to a high level of detail. He's always keen to strive for his personal best and is very self motivated. Rory is ready for his next challenge and will be a real asset to any organisation he works for.”
